The Who is Erin Carter? cast<\/a> has some added star-power from the likes of Douglas Henshall (Shetland<\/a>), Jamie Bamber (Beyond Paradise<\/a>) and Denise Gough (Andor<\/a>) in supporting roles.<\/p>\n The series currently ranks as the number one show on Netflix UK, with the Who is Erin Carter? ending<\/a> also leaving the door open for a second season \u2013 although whether we\u2019ll get one remains unconfirmed.<\/p>\n As we wait for news, here\u2019s everything you need to know about Evin Ahmad \u2013 the rising star of the Who is Erin Carter?.<\/p>\n Evin Ahmad is an actor who began her screen career in 2014 with a recurring role in Swedish political thriller Blue Eyes, following it up with a string of Netflix original series \u2013 the latest of which is Who is Erin Carter?.<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 33<\/p>\n Instagram:\u00a0<\/strong>@evinahmad<\/a><\/p>\n X (formerly Twitter): <\/strong>n\/a<\/p> In Who is Erin Carter?, Ahmad plays a teacher who flees the UK to start a new life in Barcelona, Spain, but in real life she is neither British nor Spanish.<\/p>\n The actor is Swedish and began her career in the country\u2019s local film and television industry.<\/p>\n In an interview given early in her career (via R\u00fbdaw<\/a>), she spoke about having a strong connection to her nationality.<\/p>\n \u201cI was born and raised here, and I am a Swede,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I am given a role to play, I shouldn\u2019t be viewed differently. I should be viewed as a Swede.\u201d<\/p>\n She was referencing certain inferior job offers she had received due to her Kurdish ancestry, and described turning down scripts that depict Middle Eastern characters in a stereotypical light.<\/p>\n \u201cWe must not accept all roles,\u201d added Ahmad. \u201cThe image they have created in their minds about us must be changed.\u201d<\/p>\n Ahmad is well-known to Swedish viewers, having taken prominent roles in a series of Netflix original dramas from the region.<\/p>\n These include Quicksand (following the aftermath of a school shooting), The Rain (a post-apocalyptic thriller set in Scandinavia) and Snabba Cash (about a single mother struggling to fund her tech start-up).<\/p>\n Ahmad credits the latter as having given her career a serious boost, due to its release mid-pandemic when viewers from around the world became more open to sampling international productions.<\/p>\n \u201cI had never in my life thought that people would watch a show in Swedish, but they did and they loved it. Ricky Gervais loved Snabba Cash season one and two and tweeted about it,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n \u201cSnabba Cash opened up a lot of doors for me and it\u2019s also how I got my American agents and led to my receiving a Shooting Star honour at the Berlin Film Festival, which I\u2019m so grateful for.\u201d<\/p>\n Who is Erin Carter? marks her first lead role in an English language series. The actor is impressively fluent in English and Swedish, and also speaks Kurdish and some Arabic.<\/p>\n On the production of Who is Erin Carter?, Ahmad said: \u201cI never thought they were going to cast me, but I got the role with just three weeks to prepare and that included working on her British accent.<\/p>\n \u201cYou have to work with your tongue in different ways, and on top of that, I needed to learn the stunts and understand how things were culturally for Erin living in Barcelona. It was tough work. I gave myself a holiday in Mexico at the end of it!\u201d<\/p>\n Want to visit Death in Paradise locations in Guadeloupe at a discount? <\/b>Radio Times is offering savings of up to 7% for registered users booking their next holiday with travel website\u00a0<\/span>Expedia<\/span>.\u00a0Claim your exclusive Radio Times\u00a0Expedia\u00a0holiday discount now<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Who is Erin Carter? is available to stream on Netflix.
